Every third man in the world and every fifth woman is fighting cancer. The trend is growing. In 2014 alone, doctors diagnosed 15 million new cases of these diseases. This was shown by the analysis of medical records. According to him, men most often develop lung cancer, and women develop breast cancer.
But the number of patients with cancers that occur in old age is growing the most. Cancer cells form between lymphocytes. Malignant tumors have existed throughout the entire history of mankind. Skeletal remains indicate that at least the ancient Egyptians already suffered from cancer.
But today, tumors have become one of the main causes of death or illness in general. Why? This issue is not fully covered, but it is covered. The determining factor is that people are now living longer, and many cancers are inherent in older age. In addition, the modern lifestyle contributes to the occurrence of cancer.
How cancer has developed over the past almost 25 years has been studied by the Cancer Community based on a large-scale study. The researchers analyzed registries, medical records, autopsy reports, and other medical records from 188 countries. For 28 types of cancer, the number of cases and deaths was determined between 1990 and 2013.
The result: "In 2013, there were 14.9 million new cases of cancerous tumors and 8.2 million deaths due to cancer," the scientists say.
Cancer, after cardiovascular diseases, is the second most common cause of death worldwide. The proportion of cancer deaths has increased by 3% to 15% since 1990. Every third man and every fifth woman in the world must fight malignant tumors during their lifetime. For both sexes, lung and respiratory tract cancer is a common cause of cancer-related death. Among men, one in 18 suffers from these cancers, and women suffer from breast cancer with the same frequency. Cancers that occur primarily in old age are gaining momentum. Taking into account the increase in average life expectancy, primarily in developed countries, and the increase in the direct proportion of elderly people among the population, this is not surprising.
Prostate cancer is 217% more often diagnosed today than it was 25 years ago. But lung, thyroid, lymphoma, pancreatic and intestinal cancers are also becoming more common, and the number of diseases is growing disproportionately.
"With a worldwide increase in life expectancy, cancer rates will continue to rise until they find a way to avoid new cancers," the scientists predict. The difference is visible even between developed and developing countries: in North Africa and Asia, lung cancer is a common cause of death, while in sub-Saharan Africa, cervical and esophageal cancers are common. Since smoking is less common there, lung cancer occurs 5-10 times less frequently. But liver cancer is the leading cause of death in Southeast and South Asia. At the same time, hepatitis, which is widespread here, is probably important, scientists say.
"Cancer has long been considered a problem in developed countries," the scientists state. However, new statistics show that developing countries are rapidly closing the "cancer gap." "In order to prevent an epidemic that has nullified all progress in the field of healthcare, we must prioritize cancer prevention strategies," the researchers note.
In addition to explanations, such strategies should include vaccines against infections that contribute to certain types of cancer, in particular cancers of the liver and cervix.
